      All my London flats have had waste disposals, the current flat I rent didn’t so it was the first thing to be fitted when I moved in… I just don’t want food waste sat around indoors, even for a few hours I’d rather it just be gone immediately.

    As a chef, when the wait staff burns coffee to the bottom of the pot/carafe, we put ice, salt, and lemon juice in the pot and swirl it in circles. The salt is your abrasive, the juice bleaches, and the ice doesn't scratch it the pot, which leads to breakage. When I do drains, I personally add baking soda. Removes funky smells. As always, all the best to everyone. Chef Scott 👨‍🍳

      @El Raider I'm not saying it's okay to stuff a bunch of crap down your drain, but periodically putting a few things through a garbage disposal isn't an issue so long as you run enough water through to remove whatever remnants may be left. The only time I've ever had to hydro jet was on a property that was vacant for several years allowing the rust to settle in a horizontal cast iron main drain pipe.

    As someone who spends the majority of their working day clearing out the remnants of people improperly using garbage disposals, I have to say that I approve of those message.
    It’s the best trick to get those suckers nice a sparkly clean, the ice also helps to keep those blades nice a sharp as well.
    A real pro-tip is to use a bit of white vinegar with the ice. Baking soda is a no-go because under the right conditions it just turns to concrete, and that is an expensive, time consuming, and very messy repair to make on a section of drain line.

    If ice dosent do the trick, stick one, possibly two brillo pads in while trinkling hot water. Next, cycle disposal on/off in short burst. After doing so about ten to twenty times, plug disposal and run hot water fully. Fill sink a quarter way, pull plug then crank disposal on. It'll break the rest of steel wool down to small flakes and flush out on out. Iv done this many times, pulled p-traps to make sure no clogs or damage and soo for after doing so about 20+ jobs, no issues yet. So far the best results if ice dosent cut it.

      The Ice had nothing to do with it. Ice won’t cause your disposal to seize up, or rust out. Age will though. Improper use will also cause a disposal to prematurely stop functioning. Greases, and oils, large pieces of food waste, vegetables, and especially RICE. I’ve replaced hundreds, maybe even thousands of disposals at this point, and one thing I can confidently say is they are all made like shit. To avoid real plumbing issues down the road with your sewer system, or if you have a septic system, just get rid of the disposal entirely.
      Two things plumbers love, Flushable wipes, and garbage disposals, because the problems they cause most often only occur after hours, on a weekend, or right in the middle of a holiday celebration.
      It seems alright till you’ve got a fat-burg the size of a small elephant with some flushable wipes binding it together forcing raw sewage into every crack, and crevice that you’d prefer it not be.

      That works great until your wife puts 5 dozen eggshells in it, with minimal water flushing.
      It clogged up and I poured 1/2 gal of vinegar into it and let it set overnight. The eggshells de-calcified & after running hot water through it, it finally drained out. That was better than taking the unit out to clear the pipes.

Then add 2 quarts ice without running water. Then 2 quarts very hot water with 1 cup white vinegar. Works all time and I do it every 1 to 2 months. The vinegar helps clear grease out of drain lines.
